(Blabbermouth) The owners of a nightclub where 100 people were killed in a 2003 fire are scheduled to go to trial Sept. 30 to determine whether they are able to pay tens of thousands of dollars to the families of workers killed in the blaze, a judge said Tuesday.

If the trial starts as scheduled, it would be the first stemming from the deadly blaze at The Station in West Warwick.

State Workers' Compensation Court Judge Bruce Morin set the trial date for brothers Jeffrey and Michael Derderian, who say they don't have the money to fully pay $180,000 in workers compensation claims.
